So… Those of you that proudly fed us with lies, told us about India beating Nigeria in the World Cup, 99-0 and the death of Samuel Okwaraji, do you still narrate that story to the young ones?
Okay… Okay…
Animal farm is outdated…
CiviLIEzation is here, no more tales by the moonlight…
Tortoise… Snake…Snail… Palm tree… Porridge…. Squirrel… Lion… Monkey… Tiger…
All those… Gone!
Now we tell different stories, we are telling the kids…. That…
Saying or not saying amen to a whatsapp message determines our success or woe….
Now, carrots heal cancer on WhatsApp…
Onions heal typhoid…
Even, stones heal stomach ache
And noise heal headache just because it is WhatsApp!
We welcome the young ones to a world where…
They listen to your pains so they’d create a meme out of it or send a screenshot to another so a story is made out of it!
Dress because it’d make a perfect shot for Instagram…
A world where everyone is happier than you like the way they think you are happier than them…
A world where show-off is the order of the day…
Where you innocently ask questions and someone replies just because he wants to make it a savage response…
People LOL online and not really LOLING!
People 😢 online but in reality, they are laughing from the stunts of Harold Lloyd
A world where the young ones will only get emotional because it is natural!
Maybe they would learn not to laugh but to say LOL!
Perhaps, they’d say “sad” instead of crying…
Do we not smh without shaking our heads?
The many ROTFL when we are actually driving…
Do we not type LMAO when we are angry at the moment???
Well… Well… Well…
